This country is fucked. It's why terrorists pretty much leave us alone now unless our troops are in their territory. America is a third world cesspool of savage animals who will destroy it from within. No need for a dirty bomb. Just let these animals keep reproducing.

Posting lies about Israel is typical of a Nazi. Supporting the enemies of Israel is most definitely a Nazi trait, since the bullshit of the Palestinians and other middle-eastern Arabs that are against the state of Israel is rooted in Nazism. Get off this website (never mind your high horse) and read about Nasserism and Ba'athism and what they're based on (I'll give you a hint: National socialism

Lies? What lies? Supporting the enemies of Israel? Egypt is an enemy? Whats the peace treaty for? They're rooted in Nazism? You don't read your history books do you? Also socialism has NOTHING to do with Nazism theres a lot of British Socialists that would take high offense to you associating them with Nazis.

You're anti american Olog, you're against freedom and democracy for all people. You're an embarrassment as an American Citizen. You have more in common with a Nazi than any of us here.

What's truly sad is that in today's politically correct "society", there's practically nothing you can do as the adult victim in this case. Can't touch them, because they're poor, innocent little children. They know this, and that's why they feel empowered to act like that. A child acting out against an adult like that should "taught a lesson", the severity of which depends on their age. What kind of example are we setting otherwise? These little punks have no respect for anything. They need to learn.

ANONYMOUS comes through for her. Check your local news. :)



--- quote ---

Who was responsible for this?
Reddit started something but it was the Eurofags of /b/ who made it epic.
Whilst America was still sleeping, Europe had the dox, the viral push and was contacting the media. The shitstorm began for real when Eurofags got it on teh air of the talk radio show and called in from Denmark, Ireland, Holland and UK to say they'd had their Jimmies Rustled. Especially good work by the Nederlands Anon who called in under the name "Christopher Poole" and declared these kids should spend "over 9000" years in jail.
Honestly though, this happened during peak European time-zones and the Eurofags made it happen.
Credit where it's due!

------

Last time I checked, she's gotten over $114,000 from the internet. For that much I'd gladly let a few little shits try to rustle my jimmies.

P.S. I hope the little fuckers get forced to spend the entire summer doing some sort of community service while she rolls around in her piles of cash!

desert 3 |diˈzərt|
noun (usu. deserts)
a person's worthiness or entitlement to reward or punishment: the penal system fails to punish offenders in accordance with their deserts.
PHRASES
get (or receive ) one's just deserts receive the appropriate reward or (more usually) punishment for one's actions: those who caused great torment to others rarely got their just deserts.
ORIGIN Middle English: via Old French from deservir ‘serve well’ (see deserve) .
usage: People who get their just deserts get what they deserve. Deserts here is related to deserve, and is spelled with one -s- in the middle. This usage has no relation to the dessert course of a meal, yet the -ss- spelling ( just desserts) is found in the Oxford English Corpus nearly as often as the correct spelling.

Saw this on the O'Reilly Factor a short while ago. F**king bullshit. I'll take a quote from the late Bernie Mac on this one: 'If they're old enough to talk back, they're old enough to get F**KED UP!' Too bad the lady can't raise a hand to them! Talk about spoiled, rotten kids!

I wouldn't worry about these kids, because Karma will bite them in the ass as they get older! If they still act like this when they turn 18, they'll have to deal with people who WILL talk back, or even hit back! Maybe they won't talk so much then!

This entire incident is a lesson in many things. First off, don't put something like this on the internet. It also demonstrates how far ahead of the traditional media the internet is. I now watch the news and see stuff I've already been informed of. So I watch the news less and less.

It also proves that for every nasty evil kid, there's a thousand nice people who want to do something to help.

You're right. No surprise that this video is all over YouTube. You can see at least one of the offenders in the video, so someone is going to recognize him anyway. However, if something bad happens to any of the tough-talking delinquents because of this, then it's their own fault. Thank goodness kids weren't carrying cell phones around when I was a kid!

Karen Klein's school bus bullies receive death threats

By Jim Axelrod
(CBS News) The seventh grade boys seen in a video taunting bus monitor Karen Klein are getting death threats, CBS News has learned.

The threats to the boys and their families come as online donations for the grandmother of eight continue to pour in — already totaling more than $449,000.

It's been quite a week for Klein. She started it as a bus monitor and former driver — a 23 year veteran — in a suburb of Rochester. She was not particularly well known outside her neighborhood. She ends the week, however, as a YouTube sensation known around the world for enduring some nasty harassment from four seventh grade bullies.

If you haven't seen the video of Karen Klein getting taunted by four kids who ride her bus by now, you're a member of an ever-shrinking minority.

On a recent visit with Klein, CBS News asked if the kids are acting like jerks or are simply rotten apples, Klein said, "Two are jerks; two are rotten apples."

In the video, Klein seems to try to ignore the taunts, though there was a lot more going on under the passive surface. When asked if part of her got angry, Klein said, "Oh yeah, there was a part of me, but it stayed in me. I wanted to (makes slapping motion with her hand) slap, slap, slap)."

When asked if she would have liked to resort to violence to defend herself, she replied, "Oh yeah. I sure would have — Just wipe the snicker right off their faces, but you can't do that. I didn't."

That's not Klein. Early Thursday evening one of the boys' fathers came to apologize and assure her his son would be punished. The father, Robert Helm, said, "There's not excuse. And we're going to get to the bottom of that, but it really broke my heart and I shed a lot of tears thinking about that whole thing and I just want you to know that my family, all of us, are deeply saddened by this whole thing and we're going to get it right."

And Klein ended the conversation with the father, alluding to threats the families have been getting. She said, "But you'll be OK, right?"

Klein said she heard reports about the families receiving phone calls and threats and said, "I didn't like that."

Perhaps it's Klein's generous nature that people around the country and around the world have been responding to, clogging her inbox with supportive emails and donating a total of more than $400,000 to a webpage titled "Let's Give Karen The Bus Monitor a Vacation," which is all a little confusing to her. "They say I'm such a great person and they love me, but they don't even really know me," she said.

As for the boys, Klein is relieved at what she's seen of their parents' response.

Helm said he felt rage and sadness when he learned his child was one of the boys in the video. "A lot of emotions were going on in my mind. Mostly sadness," he said. "I just felt terrible."

But the apologies she really wants to hear are not from the parents — they're from the kids — eventually. She said she doesn't want to hear from them face-to-face because the feelings are too raw. "I would rather wait a while," she said.

Perhaps the most generous thing Klein has done is to be very clear that she doesn't want to see any criminal charges filed against the four boys. To her, community service would be fine, or perhaps the boys not being able to use the buses. But at the end of the day, she doesn't feel what they did was criminal.
